重点句式解构
1.The Amazon River, from which the rainforest gets its name, is close to 6,400 kilometres in length ...
亚马孙雨林得名于亚马孙河,亚马孙河长约6 400千米……
本句是一个含有非限制性定语从句的复合句。from which the rainforest gets its name 是由“介词+which”引导的定语从句,which指代先行词The Amazon River,在从句中作宾语。“介词+关系代词”引导定语从句时要注意以下几点:
(1)在“介词+关系代词”结构中,关系代词一般用whom(先行词指人)或which(先行词指物)。
(2)某些在从句中充当时间、地点、原因等状语的“介词+关系代词”结构可以同关系副词when、 where、 why互换。

Of the 390,000 plant species known to us, more than 40,000 can be found in the Amazon.The forest's different levels support an unbelievable variety of wildlife. 3 What's more, more than 1,300 species of birds and over 400 species of mammals hide among the jungle's plant life.
The Amazon rainforest breathes life into the planet by fixing carbon and producing over 20 per cent of all the Earth's oxygen. 4 Moreover, the Amazon rainforest is a treasure house of species that can be used for food or medicine.Yet there is one major danger to these irreplaceable plants and animals: us.Over the past 50 years, about 17 per cent of the rainforest has disappeared due to human activities such as agriculture and cattle farming. 5 We are left with a question: can we afford to damage the “lungs of the planet”?
A.Thus, it is often known as the “lungs of the planet”.
B.Each level forms its own little world, home to different kinds of living things.
C.The Amazon rainforest is very important because it is home to thousands of animals and plants.

How to Protect Rainforests
Rainforests are very important to us.They are the “lungs of the earth”.However, rainforests are becoming smaller and smaller, so we should protect them.
First, we can show and tell people the importance of rainforests.Second, we should use less paper.When we use paper, we must use both sides of the paper.Third, we should ask people not to cut down the trees.Finally, we can encourage people to plant more trees.

Ⅰ.阅读理解
More and more birds are flying to settle at Qinghai Lake, one of the highest inland lakes in China, thanks to the protection efforts of local governments.Covering an area of over 4,000 square kilometers, Qinghai Lake is also the country's biggest salt-water lake.Located in Northwest China's Qinghai Province, the lake is famous for the two
islands at its northwest point — Cormorant Island and Egg Island.The two islands have plenty of floating grass and various schools of fish, offering rich food sources for birds.The islands have become a paradise for different kinds of groups of birds and have been called “Bird Islands”.
Each March and April, when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau start to melt, over 20 kinds of birds fly to the Bird Islands to lay eggs.During the months, flocks of birds cover the whole sky over the islands and birds eggs can be found everywhere.Visitors can hear the singing of birds from miles away.These have become a world-famous symbol of the lake.
To protect this paradise for birds and support calls for ecological protection, China set up the Qinghai Lake Natural Protection Zone at the end of 1997.Meanwhile, the State has pointed out the Bird Islands and Spring bay of the Qinghai Lake as central protection zones.
Inspection officials and management employees often patrol the lake, improving local residents' knowledge of related laws and spreading knowledge about animal protection to visitors.They are
making great efforts to call on people to love and protect the birds.At the same time, they have built special fences around the island area to prevent wolves, foxes and other carnivorous (食肉的) animals, as well as illegal hunters from breaking up the birds' nest-building, egg-laying and breeding.As a result, more and more birds are coming to the islands for sheltering and breeding.
语篇解读:本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了越来越多的鸟类来到青海湖,当地政府采取了有效的保护措施,使这个地方成为鸟类的天堂。

C.Visitors can listen to the singing of birds from miles away, but they couldn't see any bird.
D.“The ice on the Plateau begins to change into water” means spring is coming.
√
解析:推理判断题。根据第二段中的“Each March and April, when ice and snow covering the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau start to melt”可知,每年的三四月份,冰雪开始融化,这意味着春天来了。
4.The officials go around the lake mainly to .
A.let the farmers there know the animal protection law
B.tell the farmers there some knowledge about animal protection
C.call on people to love and protect the birds
D.all of the above

Earlier 2019, the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development published 1 most comprehensive analysis up to now of how climate change will affect the glaciers (冰川) of the world, 2 (warn) that about 18,000 glaciers will disappear by 2100.
This is a bad 3 (predict) for some 1.9 billion South Asians, 4 use water from these glaciers not only for drinking but also for agriculture,hydroelectric power (水力发电), and tourism.But the survey also looked at an immediate question: As the glaciers 5 (rapid) melt,where will all the water — more than a quadrillion gallons of it, almost the amount 6 (contain) in Lake Huron — go?
The answer is that the Himalaya, for example, long defined by 7 (it) glaciers, is becoming a mountain range defined by lakes.In fact, another study found that from 1990 to 2010, more than 900 new glacier-fed lakes 8 (form) across Asia's high mountain ranges.Because of those remote locations, scientists must rely 9 satellites to count them, and new lakes appear to be growing so quickly that it's difficult for scientific teams to agree on the precise number.
It's all happening much 10 (fast) than we expected it to even five or ten years ago.

1.the 考查冠词。根据空后表示范围的“up to now”可知,此处应用最高级。形容词最高级前应使用定冠词the。
2.warning 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,空处应填非谓语动词作伴随状语;warn与主语the International Centre for Integrated Mountain Development之间构成逻辑上的主谓关系,故用其现在分词形式warning。
3.prediction 考查名词。该空前面有“a bad”修饰,应使用单数名词。
4.who 考查定语从句。空处引导非限制性定语从句,且在从句中作主语,从句修饰先行词South Asians,故用关系代词who。
5.rapidly 考查副词。空处修饰动词melt,故用副词形式rapidly。
6.contained 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,contain与the amount构成逻辑上的动宾关系,故用过去分词作定语。
7.its 考查代词。空处修饰后面的名词glaciers,故用形容词性物主代词its。
8.were formed 考查动词的时态、语态和主谓一致。句子主语是more than 900 new glacier-fed lakes,与动词form构成动宾关系;时间状语是“from 1990 to 2010”,应用一般过去时,且主语为复数,故填were formed。
9.on/upon 考查介词。此处表示科学家必须依靠人造卫星来计算它们的数量。rely on/upon意为“依靠,依赖”,为固定搭配。
